Remarkable Surgery.

The science OF surgery has made such
wonderful progress in modern times, that
the most intricate and delicate operations
are now undertaken and carried TO q sue
cessful issue. There are now several well
authenticated cases of what is known as
pneumotony, that is TO say, the removal Of
diseased portions Of the lungs in cases of
consumption. While, however, this delicate
operation has sometimes been successfully
performed, the. risks attending it are SO
that 1t is seldom resorted to. The safest
plan in consumptive cases is to use DR..
Pierces Golden Medical Discovery. This
will always cure the disease in its earlier
stages, thoroughly arresting the ravages OF
the terrible malady, by removing its cause
and healing the lungs.

Peach Culture.


Cultivation of peach orchards should
now (Augus) cease, for fear of caus-
ing too late growth of wood, which
would be injured by the winter Late
cultivation of tie peach in the colder
parts of the peach growing sections,
is always dangerous to the hardness
of the tree. Many orchads have their
vitality injured by too late and too
deep culture. Should weeds start and
grow, NOW them with a machine close
to the ground. If the summer cultiva-
ton has been properly done. but few
weeds will appear. Should you apply
barnyard or stable manure to the
orchard, defer it until fall; it will not
then make a growth of new and ten
der wood. if warm, wet spell of
weather should occur late in the sea-
son. The attention must be directed
to making good, ripe wood and
healthy fruit buds for next years
fruiting. These apparently small par
ticulars often secure crop of fruit
when others fail to secure one. Pot
ash salts may be applied at any time
with safety.
Should the orchard now bear heavy
crop of fruit, we would SOW at once
three or four hundred pounds of muri-
ate of potash, or five hundred pounds
of kainit per acre broadcast. This
will be great help to the vitality of
the tree, and will at once improve both
the color of the fruit and the foliage of
the tree. The kainit costs at the sea-
board about ten dollars per ton, and
the muriate about forty dollars. All
fertilizer dealers keep both kainit and
muriate. They are easily procured
and applied, and with bone will work
wonders in the peach orchard.

FOREST TREES.

Many intelligent persons can tell the

In winter, which is the season to study
the trees to the best advantage
and growth OF bark, relative proportion
and arrangement of branches, develop
ment Of buds, and, in fine, the entire
architecture OF our forest trees, after the
leaves have fallen.
We speak of bark as dark or light,
black, brown, gray, green or white; but
which of these words can fifty describe
all the soft woody browns, from the dull
tone, which is almost black, to the light
est ones, which have imprisoned the sun
shine in their fbres; gray, that Of the
younger twigs of some naples to the
silvery gray of some of the swamp OPP
lars; green, which appears so mostly by
contrast with the cleaning white of the
birches, or the warm amber OF the will
lows.
We speak of bark being smooth or
rough. Think how much is included be-
tween those two terms, of grooved and
furrowed, ridged and channeled, lined
and veined, striated, angled, faxed, lay
cred, laminated, dotted, warted, wrinkled
and ragged. New bark is no mere life
less covering, but living skin, telling us
in plain language of the life that is be-
meath it.
Look at we'll grown che stnut tree

special work.
+" I came to New York in 1867 and was
sent by Mr.. James Gordon Bennett, of
the New York Herald, to accompany
General Napier's expedition to Abys-
sinia."
"Then your education in health laws

" Yes, practically. 1 had not thought
much about the subject before; even then
it was not deep study. 1 only saw
